I presume it was because the Native Americans introduced the bird to the Pilgrims (but not necessarily on Thanksgiving Day). It was a large bird that was not migratory and therefore was available throughout the year. It was large enough to feed more than one family. Have you ever eaten a wild turkey? Moma-mia! If cooked right, it tastes much better than a Butter-Ball and a lot less fat in your diet. Wild turkeys feed on acorns and other natural products(including insects and small reptiles, etc.) that give them a totally different taste.
we eat turkey on thanksgiving day because the pilgrims and the Indians use 2 eat turkey that is why we eat turkey
because when thanksgiving started in 1621 they ate a turkey first then anything else
Because it goes down good with vegetables
That was the only bird they could find to eat! They didnβt share I with Indians either! Thatβs a BS story!
No, because if they eat other turkey for Thanksgiving it would be like you eating other people.
